"Tschifrä mache," musical entertainment with the "Wolewärt" ensemble, a tasting of traditional dishes, a tour of the Belwalder-Gitsch Hüs, and a friendly "Tschifre-Tschälantsch" sports competition.
As part of European Heritage Days, themed “In Danger?”, the traditional craft of “Tschifrä making” will be showcased at the Belwalder-Gitsch Hüs in Zenhäusern, Grengiols. Under the guidance of Tschifre maker Roger Schwery, visitors can try their hand at making a model Tschifre (about 30 cm tall), and for a small fee, they can take their creation home. There will also be plenty of interesting facts to learn about the Tschifre.
The ensemble “Wolewärt” will provide musical accompaniment for the event. The Locher-Walpen family of musicians, with roots in Grengiols, makes up the Wolewärt ensemble. Among other pieces, they will perform compositions by the brothers Adolf (1909–1989) and Joseph (1910–1984) Walpen from Grengiols.
For your enjoyment, dishes from our ancestors (“Choscht va friejer”) will be available for tasting.
Anyone in the mood for some physical activity can take part in the “Tschifre-Tschäläntsch” friendly competition. Participants can complete a course around the house carrying a “Tschifra” loaded with 25 kg. The day’s winner will receive a gift certificate from the Binntal Landscape Park.
During the event, the Belwalder-Gitsch Hüs (locally known as the Orloger or Ührmacherhüs; built in 1592; classified as a cantonal historic monument since 2013 and currently rented out as a vacation home with two apartments through the “Ferien im Baudenkmal” foundation) will be open for tours. | Bädelstrasse 131, 3993 Grengiols
